글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것은? In England, even as the agents of the East India Company grew rich importing cotton, the English wool industry raised a hue and cry over the impact of cotton on the domestic economy. The problem from the perspective of the wool industry was simple: clothing made of Indian cotton was more comfortable and attractive to Britain's expanding 'middling sort' in the seventeenth century than were most woolens. The East India Company shipped ever-increasing amounts of cotton back to Britain, making its shareholders and the new clothiers who worked in cotton very wealthy. The wool industry, however, suffered as more and more people embraced the new fabric for their daily needs. Several times during the seventeenth century powerful interest groups interceded before parliament and the monarch, demanding, and often getting, stiff import duties on Indian cotton in an effort to buoy the wool trade. The most amusing manifestation of the legal attempt to shore up woolens was when parliament passed a bill in 1678 mandating that corpses had to be wrapped in wool when they were buried in a Church of England funeral. Another somewhat bizarre incident was the official legal requirement that Scottish kilts be woven from thirteen yards of wool. Overnight, every Scot serving in the military had to be clothed in a huge swath of wool.
